Description

The records in this dataset are general records of different taxonomic groups submitted to the National Biodiversity Data Centre. This provides a temporary facility to store and make available data submitted to the Centre, until such time as subsets of the data can be added to a recognised national database.

Purpose

Method steps

Data collected by different survey methods, but principally by direct field observation.
